The KIWI bird is a unique creature. A kind of cross between a chicken and a badger. Although the KIWI is nominally a bird, its physiology and habits are clearly animal-like.

Judge for yourself:
– cannot fly, but runs great and kicks expertly
– vision is poor, but the sense of smell is excellent (very unusual for a bird)
– average body temperature 38 degrees – two degrees lower than other birds
– two functional ovaries – in other birds the right ovary is usually reduced/non-functional
– tubular bones are filled with bone marrow, and not hollow and light like those of flying birds
– feathers do not have micro-beards, and therefore resemble wool
– no tail (well, just like ours!)
– the base of the beak is covered with long whiskers

The Kiwi bird lays the largest egg in relation to body volume. The weight of the egg can be up to a quarter of the female's weight. From the moment of conception to the moment of laying, approximately 3 weeks pass (very long for birds). Incubation is also unusually long - about 80 days. 65% of the egg volume is occupied by the high-calorie yolk. Thanks to this reserve, a newly hatched chick can go without food for about a week. Hatching occurs slowly, sometimes taking several days. It takes another 3-5 days for the chick to figure out which leg goes where. Usually after 7-10 days the young kiwi is already able to leave the nest in search of food. The parents do not care for the chick.

Kiwi ancestors once knew how to fly. This is how they arrived in New Zealand from Australia (an unknown number of millions of years ago). In the absence of mammals and terrestrial predators, the proto-kiwi eventually forgot how to fly and turned into exclusively terrestrial creatures. The wings of the modern kiwi are so reduced that they are completely lost in the long, loose feathers of the body. They can only be felt by grabbing the bird by the sides (which is prohibited by New Zealand law). To the touch they resemble a crooked little finger.

Kiwis feed on worms, insects, seeds and small aquatic vertebrates. Their long, thin, slightly curved beak helps them find prey, and excellent sense of smell. The kiwi's nostrils are located at the very tip of its beak. This physiological feature allows the bird to smell prey even underground. The bird plunges its nose into the soil in search of underground inhabitants. Hence the typical “mark” of kiwi – cone-shaped holes 10-15 cm deep.

Kiwi is a nocturnal bird and usually leaves its nest/burrow only at dusk.

Life expectancy is up to 60 years.

Kiwis mate for life. However, for most of the year, the male and female do not live in any close contact and, as a rule, do not share nests. In any case, they have a lot of nests/dens on the site.

Kiwis are extremely territorial. Every night, the couple whistles to notify neighbors that the place is occupied. Violating the border leads to violent fights.

Today, there are 5 species of kiwi (and one that has been exterminated). Below are their common and Latin names, the size of females (males are smaller), estimated population sizes and distinctive features:

Great Spotted Kiwi or Roroa, Apteryxhaastii – the largest species (females weigh about 3.3 kg); number about 20,000 individuals; both parents take part in incubation

Little Spotted Kiwi, Apteryxowenii– the smallest and most defenseless (females weigh about 1.3 kg); number about 1350 individuals; exterminated on the large islands, lives under strict protection on several protected small islands; only the male does the incubation

It is quite difficult to see a kiwi in nature (most New Zealanders have not seen their symbol in nature). In the zoo - easily. Today there are about 17 nurseries in the country. To please visitors, they usually change day and night (the lamps are turned on from evening to morning), so that kiwis are awake at the same hours as us.

Kiwi (Apteryx) is the only genus of ratites in the family of the same name (Apterygidae G.R. GRAY, 1840) and the order of kiwiformes, or wingless birds (Apterygiformes). Includes three (according to the latest data - five) endemic New Zealand species.

All kiwi species have strong, four-toed feet and a long, narrow beak with nostrils at the very tip. The wings are not developed, the tail is missing. Kiwi feathers are more like thick wool. Kiwis are nocturnal birds that live primarily by smell; vision is very weak. The appearance and habits of kiwis are so different from other birds that zoologist William Calder gave them the nickname “honorary mammals.”

It has long been assumed that the kiwi's closest relative is another New Zealand species of flightless bird, the extinct moa. However, recent studies of the complete mitochondrial DNA sequences of kiwis and their flightless relatives have revealed that these birds are genetically closer to emus and cassowaries than to ostriches, rheas and moas.

Presumably, the ancestors of modern kiwi came to New Zealand from Australasia later than the moa - about 30 million years ago. According to molecular data, this could have happened even earlier - about 62 million years ago, but after the separation of New Zealand from Gondwana (no later than 75 million years ago) and the divergence of the evolutionary branch of Moa (about 78 million years ago), which may indicate a primary settlement of moa in New Zealand and secondary - kiwi.

Kiwis, or wingless birds, are flightless ratite birds. The sizes are small, about the size of a regular chicken. Sexual dimorphism is characteristic: females are larger than males. The kiwi has a pear-shaped body, with a small head and short neck. They weigh from 1.4 to 4 kg.

Kiwi is characterized by the greatest reduction in wings among birds: they are only 5 cm in length and are almost invisible among the plumage. However, the kiwi has retained the habit of hiding its beak under its wing when resting. The bird's body is evenly covered with soft, gray or light brown feathers, more like wool. The tail is missing. The legs are four-toed, short, but very strong, with sharp claws; their weight is approximately 1/3 of body weight. The skeleton is not pneumatic, the bones are heavy.

Kiwis mainly rely not on vision - their eyes are very small, only 8 mm in diameter - but on their developed hearing and sense of smell. Among birds, only condors have a stronger sense of smell. Kiwi has a very long, flexible, thin, straight or slightly curved beak, which in males reaches a length of 95-105 mm, and in females - 110-120 mm. The kiwi's nostrils open at the end of the beak (in other birds - at its base). The language is rudimentary. At the base of the beak there are organs of touch - sensitive bristles - vibrissae.

Kiwis live primarily in damp evergreen forests; long fingers on their feet help them not to get stuck in swampy ground. In the most populated areas per 1 sq. km there are 4-5 birds. They lead an exclusively twilight and nocturnal lifestyle.

During the day, the kiwi hides in a dug hole, hollow or under tree roots. The great gray kiwi's burrows are a veritable labyrinth with several exits; Other kiwis have simpler burrows, with one exit. In a kiwi's territorial area there can be up to 50 shelters, which the bird changes every day. The kiwi occupies a hole only a few weeks after it digs - during this time the grass and moss have time to grow, masking the entrance. Sometimes kiwis deliberately camouflage the nest, covering the entrance with leaves and twigs. During the day they leave their shelters only in case of danger.

Secretive and timid during the day, these birds become aggressive at night. Kiwis are extremely territorial birds, and the mating pair, and especially the male, fiercely defends its nesting area from competitors, which can occupy from 2 to 100 hectares (in rovi). Strong legs and the kiwi's beak is a dangerous weapon, and fights between birds can result in death. However, serious fights between kiwis are rare; Usually the nesting site changes “owner” only after the natural death of the male. Birds mark the boundaries of their territory using cries that can be heard several kilometers away at night. The opinion that kiwis are slow and clumsy birds is erroneous - in nature they are mobile and cover the entire nesting area in one night.

Kiwis go hunting approximately 30 minutes after sunset. Their food consists of insects, mollusks and earthworms, as well as fallen berries and fruits. Kiwis search for prey using their sense of smell and touch - by raking the ground with their feet and plunging their beaks deep into it, they literally “sniff out” worms and insects. On occasion, kiwis do not refuse small amphibians and crustaceans.

Kiwis are monogamous birds; they form pairs for at least 2-3 mating seasons, sometimes for life. The pair meets in the nesting hole every three days and calls to each other loudly at night. The main mating season for kiwis lasts from June to March. Three weeks after fertilization, the female lays one egg (rarely two) in a hole or under the roots of a tree. Kiwi is the record holder among birds for the size of eggs laid: in an ordinary kiwi, it weighs up to 450 g, about 1/4 of the mass of the bird itself. The egg is white or greenish, measuring 120 x 80 mm - about six times the size of a chicken egg, and contains the highest percentage of yolk among bird eggs - 65% (most birds have 35-40%).

During gestation, the female eats three times more than usual; 2-3 days before laying the egg, she stops eating because the egg takes up too much space inside her body. The laid egg is incubated by the male, who leaves him only during feeding, for 2-3 hours; sometimes he is replaced by a female. Among the Stewart Island kiwi, which do not live in pairs, but in small stable groups, not only the male and female, but also other birds from the group incubate the eggs. Sometimes after 25 days the female lays a second egg.

The incubation period takes 75-85 days; It takes the chick 2-3 days to get out of the shell with the help of its legs and beak. The chicks are born feathered, not down, and resemble miniature copies of adults. Parents usually do not care for the offspring and abandon them immediately after hatching. For the first three days, the chick cannot stand on its feet and does not eat - subcutaneous reserves of yolk allow it not to starve. By the fifth day he begins to leave the nest, and by the 10-14th day he begins to look for food on his own.

For the first six weeks of life, a kiwi chick can feed during the daytime, then it switches to a nocturnal lifestyle. Young kiwis are practically defenseless - up to 90% of birds die in the first six months of life, and 70% of them become victims of predators. Young kiwis grow slowly: only at 4-5 years do they reach full size. Sexual maturity occurs in males at 18 months, and in females at 2-3 years. But females usually begin to lay eggs only at 3-5 years of age. The life expectancy of kiwi is long - up to 50-60 years.

Kiwis are found only in New Zealand. The northern kiwi (Apteryx mantelli) inhabits the North Island, the common (A. australis), great gray (A. haasti) and rowi (A. rowi) inhabit the South Island, while the small kiwi (A. oweni) is found only on the island Kapiti, from where it is dispersed to some other isolated islands.

Due to its secretive lifestyle, it is very difficult to find this bird in the wild. It is not surprising that the catastrophic decline in its numbers for a long time went unnoticed.

Scientists estimate that about 1,000 years ago, more than 12 million kiwi inhabited the forests of New Zealand; by 2004 their population had dropped to 70,000 individuals. Until recently, kiwis were dying out at a rate of up to 6% of the population per year; mainly due to the predators brought to the islands by Europeans - cats, dogs, weasels, as well as due to the reduction in forest area. Kiwis themselves are very hardy birds that are little susceptible to disease and are able to survive serious environmental changes.

Measures were taken to restore the number of this bird - in 1991, a state program for the restoration of kiwi (English: Kiwi Recovery Program) was launched. As a result of protective measures, the number of kiwis surviving to adulthood increased from 5% (1991) to 60% (1998). Efforts to recolonize the kiwi's habitat include captive breeding of the bird (the first chicks were bred in captivity only in 1989) and controlling the number of predators.

Three species of kiwi, common, large gray and small, are listed in the international Red Book with the status of vulnerable (Vulnerable), and the new kind Northern kiwi is classified as Endangered. Rovi has Nationally Critical status.

Kiwi - national and unofficial emblem New Zealand. It is a favorite symbol of New Zealand culture, depicted on coins, postage stamps, etc. “Kiwi” is a comic nickname for New Zealanders themselves. The New Zealand fruit plant kiwi gets its name from the similarity of the shape of its pubescent fruit to the body of the bird of the same name.

What is in the Pacific Ocean, located New Zealand- a country that is distinguished by amazing nature, unique animals and incredible cleanliness of the environment.

Finding New Zealand on the world map is quite simple; it is hidden in the southwest of the Pacific Ocean. The large islands of Severny (Bely) and Yuzhny, as well as about seven hundred small ones, make up its territory. The Cook Strait divides the large islands, the remaining parts of the state are washed by the waters of the Tasman Sea and the Pacific Ocean, which is why New Zealand does not have land borders with any country.

State symbols and currency

The symbols of New Zealand, as well as any other state, are the anthem, flag, and coat of arms. Let's talk about the state symbols of the country.

Two pieces of music are officially recognized as New Zealand's national anthems: "God Save the Queen" and "God Defend New Zealand". Unofficially, the second option, authored by Thomas Bracken and Joseph Woods, is considered a priority. The lyrics of the anthem have two versions in English and Maori. At government events, only the first verse is heard, first in the Maori language, and only after that the English version.

The national flag of New Zealand has the shape of a rectangle. On a blue background, of which the British flag is in the upper right corner, the glory is four stars. The color blue is considered a symbol of the sky and sea that surrounds the country. The British flag is used as a reminder of New Zealand's colonial past. The stars on the flag indicate the country's location in the vast Pacific Ocean. This cloth has been officially considered the national flag of New Zealand since March 24, 1902.

The modern State Coat of Arms of New Zealand was approved in 1956 and represents a shield held by a woman holding the national flag and a Maori warrior. Two fronds of fern are below the shield, and above it is the crown of St. Edward. Looking at the Coat of Arms, we understand that New Zealand has managed to build harmonious relations between the peoples who inhabit it. Residents of the country are adherents of the monarchy.

The national currency of New Zealand is the New Zealand dollar (NZD). Like the American one, it consists of 100 cents. The country's central bank issues banknotes in 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 dollars, and coins in denominations of 5, 10, 20, 50 cents, 1 and 2 dollars.

Any money can be exchanged for NZD upon arrival in the country.

Climate and nature

New Zealand's climate is divided into subtropical maritime in the northern part of the state and temperate maritime in the southern part. The warmest period in New Zealand occurs in the months from January to February, when the air warms up to +20...+30 °C. July is considered the coldest month; at this time the air temperature can drop to +8…+10 °C. Surprisingly, the further you move into the south of New Zealand, the lower the thermometer drops. All year round Sufficient precipitation falls in the form of rain on the plains and snow in the mountains.

New Zealand nature amazes the imagination of travelers; here you can see tropical forests, glaciers, deep rivers, deep lakes, the highest mountains, and huge pastures. The country's flora and fauna are also replete with diversity. Speaking of animals, we should highlight birds, of which there are especially many in New Zealand; there are specimens that live only in this area, for example, kiwi, plume, takahe. The mild climate creates favorable conditions for plants, of which there are also a lot. Particularly interesting are relict forests, the trees in which are 800 years old.

Population of New Zealand

According to updated data, about four million two hundred thousand people live in New Zealand, most of whom come from European countries. A small part is made up of aborigines - Maori and representatives of other ethnic groups. The official religion is Christianity, it is professed by more than half of the population; Anglicans, Pentecostals, Adventists and others are also common. The country has two official languages: English and Maori.

Cities

New Zealand is geographically divided into 17 regions, each of which has its own city center. Let's talk about the major cities of New Zealand.

The city is located on Severny Island and is considered a major port of the country. Famous for its beaches, bays, and developed tourist recreation.

The city has a unique location and access to the Tasman Sea and the Pacific Ocean. Popular for its numerous volcanoes, bays, mountain ranges, and attractions.

The city is considered an advanced center of science, technology, and education in New Zealand. Cultural and cultural events are often held here sporting events within the state.

The city sheltered the large indigenous population of New Zealand - the Maori. Its main symbol is Mount Taranaki, whose height reaches 2,518 meters. It is also the country's largest agricultural region with fertile soils and mineral deposits.

The city is the capital of New Zealand and the richest city in the country, which houses government buildings and many cultural facilities.

The city attracts beach lovers and active rest, surfers, divers, kayakers. Located in an area with beautiful landscapes, it is considered the capital of the kiwi fruit, the unofficial symbol of New Zealand.

The city has several cozy beaches and a seaport, as well as national parks Kauranga and Nelson Lakes. The top of one of the hills is considered Point Zero, that is, the geographical center of New Zealand.

No less interesting from a tourist point of view; its territory contains the country’s famous parks: Arthur’s Pass, Paparoa, Mount Aspiring, Kaurangi, Westland.

The capital of New Zealand is fraught with many interesting things. Be sure to visit a busy street and take a ride on one of the trams to see the city from above. Take time for excursions to the National Museum and the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart. In addition, Wellington has many different parks and squares, especially interesting, recognized as one of the best not only in the country, but also in the world.

A trip to the city promises to be exciting, because it is built in the style of 20th century architecture. New Zealand offers a walk along the steepest street, located at an angle of 40 degrees.

The Cave of Fireflies in caves, inhabited by millions of tiny insects glowing with an unusual light, is considered a real natural miracle. A walk through them will give you a lot of impressions.

The fairytale village in which the events of the film “The Lord of the Rings” unfold is also located in New Zealand. It originated on the site of a sheep farm owned by a family living in the nearby town of Matamata. The director of the film was attracted by the amazing nature and complete lack of civilization in these places.

Lake Rotorua, located in the crater of an extinct volcano, and the Valley of Geysers of New Zealand are very popular among tourists.

The cleanest lakes of New Zealand are amazingly beautiful; the Blue Lake is considered the most famous.

All about places to live

Having a developed tourism industry, New Zealand is considered one of the countries where holidays will be comfortable and safe. As for accommodation in the cities of New Zealand, it is varied and is represented by various hotels and inns, as well as more modest places. Compliance with the star classification of hotels is checked by the Qualmark agency.

Hotels upper class They are part of global hotel chains and are distinguished by luxury. More often located in large cities, such as,. Lower-level hotels are often located in the central part of cities and are distinguished by their individuality.

The most affordable accommodation is considered to be in family Bed & Breakfast hotels, which offer overnight accommodation and a light breakfast for a reasonable fee. If you decide to go to independent travel When traveling around New Zealand by car, it is convenient to stay in campsites that are equipped with all the necessary things for a reasonable fee.

New Zealand cuisine

Perfectly combines national traditions with the peculiarities of English cooking and the neighboring state of Australia. The local population loves to cook meat (especially lamb) and various seafood. The favorite national dish in New Zealand is baked fish and fried potatoes with lots of herbs and vegetables. New Zealanders also love kumara - sweet potatoes, kiwi, and any food cooked over an open fire. Islanders drink a lot of green tea and local wines.

Shopping, purchases, souvenirs

Many regions of New Zealand produce excellent wool, which is later used to make warm and very soft blankets, slippers, sweaters, mittens, and hats. Any of these products will be an excellent purchase for personal use and a good gift for family and loved ones. New Zealand jewelers are famous for their excellent taste and elegance of work, so jewelry made from precious metals and stones can be purchased and worn with pleasure long years. The state's cosmetic products, which are based on mineral muds, salts, and algae, are known all over the world. Kiwi bird figurines and masks, jewelry, and weapons made by Maori artisans are more often bought as souvenirs.

Interesting facts about New Zealand:

A lot is known about the country, here are some of them.

1. New Zealand became the first world power to introduce universal suffrage.
2. Mount Cook and the strait of the same name in the country are associated with the name of the pioneer James Cook, although there is evidence that the first person to visit the coast of New Zealand was Abel Tasman.
3. New Zealand is one of the three countries whose official anthems are simultaneously two pieces of music.
4. The state declared a nuclear-free status, which is why New Zealand still does not have nuclear power plants.
5. New Zealand agricultural products are recognized as the highest quality on the world market.
6. The highest point on the island of New Zealand is considered to be Mount Cook, whose height is 3754 meters.
7. You can officially drive a car in New Zealand when you reach the age of fifteen.
8. Most of the electricity (about 65%) is obtained from the use of heat from volcanoes and dams built on large rivers.

Security in the country

The island nation of New Zealand is considered one of the three safest countries in the world. The streets of cities and villages are calm at any time of the day, which is why the crime rate has been very low for many years. In public places it is prohibited to smoke and drink alcoholic beverages of any strength, and people who use drugs are especially harshly punished.

When going on a trip to New Zealand you need to remember single number emergency telephone number, if you still find yourself in an unpleasant situation, then call 111. To clarify or find out useful information dial number 018.

Like any other state, it has its own official symbols that represent it. This is the coat of arms, national flag and anthem. However, the rich flora and fauna of the country suggests that there is another symbol of New Zealand. And perhaps not alone.

History of the country's name

The Dutch navigator who in 1642 reached the shores of the Polynesian islands of the Pacific Ocean, plotted their outlines on the map. Initially he gave them the name Staten Landt (State Lands). This name did not last long, and was soon replaced by another - Nova Zeelandia, which translated from Dutch means “New Sea Lands”. Captain James Cook, when drawing up a more accurate map in 1769, used English language. This is how the name came about New Zealand(New Zealand), officially assigned to the country.

State symbols

New Zealand is a member of the British Commonwealth and recognizes the authority of the British monarch.

The national flag has a blue background and contains images of the British flag and four red stars, symbolizing the Southern Cross constellation.

The coat of arms in its current form was granted to the country by Queen Elizabeth II in 1956. Before receiving dominion status in 1907, New Zealand, like other colonies of the British Empire, did not have its own coat of arms. New Zealand's first state symbol was granted in 1911 by King George V. And in 1956, some changes were made to its design. The shield of the coat of arms contains the following images:

1. The three ships are a symbol of maritime trade and the immigrant background of most citizens.

2. Four stars - a symbol of the Southern Cross constellation.

3. The Golden Fleece is a symbol of cattle breeding.

4. A sheaf of wheat is a symbol of agriculture.

5. Two crossed hammers - a symbol of industry and mining.

Above the shield is the crown of St. Edward - one of the royal ones. Under the shield are two branches of a silver fern, decorated with a ribbon with the inscription New Zealand. On the sides of the shield there are two figures holding it. This is a woman of European appearance with the flag of New Zealand and a Maori warrior, representing the indigenous people of the country.

The country has two national anthems that have equal status - "God Save the Queen" and "God Defend New Zealand". The latter is more used.

Silver fern - symbol of New Zealand

A flower with silver leaves, which landscape designers love to decorate shady areas of the garden with, belongs to the class of ferns. The official name is Cyathea silvery. It grows in the wild only in New Zealand. Since ancient times, the indigenous people of the country have used all the properties of this plant. For medical purposes, it was used as an antiseptic to promote the healing of wounds and burns. The woody part of the fern is poisonous, and Maori warriors treated the tips of their spears with the juice of its fibers.

This plant is the national symbol of New Zealand; its image can be found on army badges, coins, emblems sports teams and clubs. In 2015 it was even developed new project national flag with a branch of fern. However, following the results of a referendum in 2016, it was decided to leave the design of the national flag the same.

Kiwi (bird) - symbol of New Zealand

Another national symbol of the country is the flightless bird. This endemic has a rather funny appearance. The body of the bird resembles the shape of a pear. The wings are practically undeveloped, so they are not visible behind the thick plumage, more like wool. There is no tail, the neck is so small that it seems as if the head immediately goes into the body. The bird has a long thin beak with nostrils at the end. And strong four-toed legs allow you to run quickly. And although the kiwi does not fly, it is quite difficult to catch it. The bird is small in size and rarely weighs more than four kilograms. The largest of the five species found in New Zealand is the great gray kiwi. Its height reaches 45 centimeters.

IN natural conditions It is almost impossible to see the kiwi because it is nocturnal. Its sense of smell is better developed than its sense of touch; with its long beak with nostrils at the end, the bird literally sniffs out prey. The main diet of kiwi is insects, worms, mollusks, crustaceans, berries and small fruits. During the day, the bird hides in specially prepared shelters. These can include burrows that certain types of kiwi dig in the form of labyrinths, hollows, and tangled tree root systems. In its habitat, a pair of birds can have up to 50 shelters, well camouflaged with leaves and moss. And although the kiwi is the unofficial symbol of New Zealand, this endemic is still the most recognizable and beloved representative of the fauna by the country's residents. His images can be found everywhere - from coins, jewelry and souvenirs to logos and advertising banners.

Kiwiana

In conclusion, it is worth adding that New Zealanders are very fond of the unique history and nature of their country. And they even came up with such a concept as kiwiana, for all the national features that symbolize the country. The list is constantly updated, it includes the traditions and cultural objects of the indigenous people of New Zealand, representatives of the kingdom of nature, modern scientific and cultural achievements.
